A Perfect Life

from NO WORRIES by Pretty Lousy

/

lyrics

Set your alarm for 7:00
get out of bed at 8:45.
Bowl of cereal for breakfast
to hold you on the drive
to work where you're a stranger
to another twenty lives.
Pick up some extra hours,
pay your rent with overtime.
And I'm trying not to miss you
but I know one day I'll get it right.
Just not tonight.
No, not tonight.

Paint me a picture,
a portrait of a perfect life
complete with colors
the human eye cannot define
and I'll make you a potion
of acetone and turpentine
to wash away the future
and all its pretty little lies.

Avoid another conversation about where you moved from and why.
Stay away from the windows until the neighbors go back inside.
And when I talk about Upstate, NY
I don't mean Buffalo
or Poughkeepsie
or Albany
or Syracuse
or Ithaca
or Oswego
or Troy.
